Charlotte Symphony Orchestra Inc

Mission

The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra exists to engage and connect our community through orchestral music and enhances its visibility as a cultural center of interest, vitality and importance. Further, we are committed to introduce elementary school age children through concerts geared for them at their age group to learn about the orchestra as a whole and individual instruments. We also exist to provide music in small groups to go to elder care facilities in Charlotte County and the surrounding areas to comfort them. We know through research especially Dementia and Alzheimer's patients benefit greatly from music from their earlier days. In short we desire to serve the community from children to their senior elders.

Children are also invited to Orchestra rehearsals to sit on stage next to the musician playing the instrument they are most interested in.

Summer Music Camp

The two-week music camp for elementary, middle, and high school children is proposed for 2019 or 2020. The children select a musical instrument to study from any instrument family. The children will either learn how to play an instrument or learn new skills. If a child does not own an instrument, one will be provided at no charge. They will also receive choral instruction, and music theory and participate in music and movement. At the program's end, parents and friends are invited to a performance of the students. Tuition assistance is available, based on financial need. The program is to be held at the Punta Gorda Middle School in Punta Gorda. Once again this year, dates, times, and location are coordinated with a local children's theater arts group so that children can take advantage of both for an enhanced growth and enjoyment experience.
